Brain Waste by By Jeanne Batalova
In 2022, approximately 2.1 million college-educated immigrants in the U.S. labor market (around 20 percent of college-educated immigrants) were either unemployed or working in low-skilled jobs including as dishwashers, security guards, or taxi drivers, often because of difficulty getting their credentials recognized or other hurdles. This situation represents a waste of human capital (also referred to as “brain waste” or underemployment) that also affects approximately 7.8 million U.S.-born college graduates (16 percent of U.S.-born graduates).
